Never backing off from big, emotional moments, but also fleshing out the necessary transitions between them, he has realized his finest movie. It's a renaissance for Mr. Schultz, who seems to be speaking with his own voice after all these years.

The screenplay is overwrought at times, but the acting is superb by any standard.

While the story couldn't be simpler and the filmmaking is crude, it forcefully addresses a reality.
By Wesley Morris FULL REVIEW

For all the tough-minded talk and frank portraits of inner-city life, however, the film is not altogether convincing.
By Sean Axmaker FULL REVIEW

At its best, Woman Thou Art Loosed conveys the unfathomable meaning behind those words.
By Ann Hornaday FULL REVIEW
40
The heavy-handed delivery may reflect the urgency of the message--that women need to face the past and stand by their children--but it impedes the drama.

Unfortunately, it's impossible to tell from this confused mess (costarring Jakes as himself) what that message is.
